Carrera Vintage

Career was born in 1956 from the genius of Wilhelm Anger, already a manufacturer of sports glasses. The Austrian designer (of Czechoslovakian origins), wanted to produce a new line of glasses dedicated to sports. He was inspired by the legendary “Career Panamericana”, the famous car race that in the 1950s was considered the longest, most dangerous and fastest in the world. In fact, this race ideally connected North America to Latin America, developing for 3000 km through Mexico and celebrating the completion of the Panamerican Highway. In 1965 he patented a material for frames called Optyl: a hard and very strong plastic, yet 20% lighter than acetate and other thermoplastic materials. This material reduces complications due to possible allergies of the wearer of glasses and has an “elastic” component that tends to memorize the face of the wearer, adapting to it. It also allowed the production of plastic glasses that were much cheaper than the sports frames on the market at the time.

Career. It is the brand that boasts the greatest number of victories with its masks; even the Formula 1 champion Gerhard Berger won the championship wearing Career.

In 1989, the line of cycling glasses was born on the occasion of the historic Paris-Roubaix, and the following year it also began producing bicycle helmets.

In 1996 the Safilo group acquired Career, moving the company to the Italian city of Padua, and bringing production to China. The famous double lens system with a durable sealing ring that prevents fogging was born during this period.

The term “VINTAGE” derives from the French “l'age du vin”, or the vintage of the wine, originally referring to the harvest of the finest wines, since the passing of time (aging) led the product to be richer, better and consequently more valuable.

The vintage style in fact has as its main characteristic the valorization not of quantity, but of quality. Similarly, a pair of glasses defined as “vintage” is a product that has accumulated at least twenty years of life since its creation, more precisely, an object produced in the past that has acquired value and importance thanks to its qualities of elegance and uniqueness.

Precisely for this reason the vintage glasses that we offer have very high quality standards and are difficult to find elsewhere.

Scrolling through the list of brands we market you will discover their history, their technical characteristics and the belief that these brands have made their own over the years, arriving at the creation of objects that, unfortunately, we believe cannot be reproduced at the same level of quality. In line with the vintage philosophy, our goal is to offer the customer an unrepeatable service by combining quality, uniqueness and enhancement of the products.
